RWBY: I'll Carve My Own Path In This World (RWBY X Male reader) [5]

Chapter 29: Moving out

I took aim and managed to land a few shots on the Grimm, it dropped Dee and crashed into the mountain

"Watch out!" I heard, I whipped around in time to see something come straight at me, ripping me from the train and into the forest below

It was almost time, I was just waiting for the others to pack their things, in the mean time I just sat outside

"Nothing to pack?" A voice called out, I turned to see Cinder, I smiled

"Not really, I didn't have much to carry since 'someone' put an arrow through me." Cinder leant against the wall

"Dear Y/N, please tell me you not still hung up about that." I glared

"Okay, let me put it this way, YOU FUCKING 'SHOT' ME!" Cinder smiled

"Mother would've done worse if she could see us now." There was a small silence, I took a breath

"So, what were they like? Mom and Dad I mean." Cinder smiled, not her malicious smile, but a genuine one, fond memories probably made their way to her

"Well, Dad was always busy with housework, but he was always kind to us, not much of a fighter, Mom on the other hand was a Huntress, a good one at that, she was quite strict, but she cared for us a lot, if something even slightly hurt us, she would find some way to beat it up." We laughed

"One time, a branch hit me in the face, Mom destroyed the entire tree." I smiled, it's good to know that Mom...my real Mom, cared for us all...so...so much, without realising it, I had begun to cry, Cinder sighed, patting me on the head, I realised what was going on and quickly wiped my face

"There you two are! Everyone else is ready!" I turned to see an annoyed Weiss standing in the doorway, I stood up, smiling

"Alright, let's go...Cindy." I said, smirking, Cinder glared at me, making a small fireball in her hand

"What did I say about calling me that?" She said through gritted teeth, I ran back inside the room before she could do anything, everyone else was waiting for us, bags in hand, Ruby and Neo walked up to me

"Ready to go?" Neo asked, I smiled

"I'll ne-" Neo interrupted

"Never be truly ready? Why am I not surprised." She said, rolling her eyes yet smiling

"So what's Atlas actually like?" Ruby asked, eyes twinkling

"You'll see." I said smirking, Ruby pouted at me, I patted her on the head, she only grew more annoyed

"Mister Fall, a word please." Ozpin said, I nodded and followed him into a separate room, he closed the door behind him before glaring at me

"Do you...know about Salem?" I raised an eyebrow

"What do you mean?" Ozpin sighed

"I see, you don't know, suffice to say, you can't kill her." I realised what he was talking about

"Oh, do you mean the whole immortality thing she has?" Ozpin was surprised but nodded

"Yeah, what of it?" I asked, Ozpin looked dumbfounded

"She can't be killed! I used the Relic of Knowledge and it said-" I interrupted

"You can't, but Ozpin, you need to pay close attention to the wording of that, 'you' can't, that just means that you, Ozpin, cannot kill Salem, that doesn't mean that someone else can't." Ozpin seemed to grow angry
